Activity title Community-based Disaster Management Reforestation project Workshop: Climate Change Adaptation, Development and Disaster Reduction: Strengthening Community Resilience in the Caribbean. Community Disaster Preparedness Programmes Beneficiary community(ies) and country Completed in: Antigua & Barbuda, Jamaica, Guyana, Grenada, St. Kitts & Nevis, Trinidad & Tobago. To be completed in: Saint Lucia, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, Belize, Suriname, Dominica Grande Riviere, Trinidad Port of Spain, Trinidad La Pastora, Bourg Mulatresse, La Canoa, Debe, Penal and Barrackpore in Trinidad Key components and outputs Implemented by Date of implementation Community-based disaster preparedness training; guidelines for vulnerability and capacity assessment (VCA) to build safer, more resilient communities This community is currently implementing a community reforestation project. The project came about because the residents depend on the forest for their livelihood and reforestation is a way of addressing the problem of bush fires and landslides, which threaten their existence. The main aims of the workshop were to engage concerned partners on these issues and involve the communities themselves in addressing the consequences of climate change, specifically in the areas of human development and livelihood and to identify adaptation strategies to deal with the impact of climate change in vulnerable communities. The objective is to help people in communities prone to street and flash flooding, among other vulnerabilities, to help themselves in the event of a natural disaster. Communities will benefit from training in first aid, injury prevention, community mobilisation and disease prevention, among others. 24 The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRCS) Trinidad & Tobago Red Cross Society, the Ministry of Agriculture- Forestry Division and the Grande Riviere Tourism Development Organization ProVention Consortium, in collaboration with the International Federation’s Caribbean Regional Representation Office.
